Example Question #72 : Quadrilaterals

Find the length of a side of a rhombus if it has diagonals possessing the following lengths: and .

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{165}$

$2\sqrt{165}$

$\sqrt{346}$

$\sqrt{211}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{346}$

Explanation:

Recall that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other and are perpendicular to one another.

In order to find the length of the side, we can use Pythagorean's theorem. The lengths of half of the diagonals are the legs, and the length of the side of the rhombus is the hypotenuse.

First, find the lengths of half of the diagonals.

$\frac{\text{Diagonal 1}}{2}=\frac{22}{2}=11$

$\frac{\text{Diagonal 2}}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15$

Next, substitute these half diagonals as the legs in a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

$11^2+15^2=\text{side length}^2$

$\text{side length}^2=121+225=346$

$\text{side length}=\sqrt{346}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{269}$

Explanation:

Recall that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other and are perpendicular to one another.

First, find the lengths of half of the diagonals.

$\frac{\text{Diagonal 1}}{2}=\frac{20}{2}=10$

$\frac{\text{Diagonal 2}}{2}=\frac{26}{2}=13$

Next, substitute these half diagonals as the legs in a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

$10^2+13^2=\text{side length}^2$

$\text{side length}^2=100+169=269$

$\text{side length}=\sqrt{269}$

$\sqrt{133}$

$\sqrt{159}$

$\sqrt{149}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{149}$

Explanation:

Recall that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other and are perpendicular to one another.

In order to find the length of the side, we can use Pythagorean's theorem. The lengths of half of the diagonals are the legs, and the length of the side of the rhombus is the hypotenuse.

First, find the lengths of half of the diagonals.

$\frac{\text{Diagonal 1}}{2}=\frac{14}{2}=7$

$\frac{\text{Diagonal 2}}{2}=\frac{20}{2}=10$

Next, substitute these half diagonals as the legs in a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

$7^2+10^2=\text{side length}^2$

$\text{side length}^2=49+100=149$

$\text{side length}=\sqrt{149}$

Possible Answers:

6.71

8.96

10.92

9.22

Correct answer:

9.22

Explanation:

Recall that in a rhombus, the diagonals are not only perpendicular to each other, but also bisect one another.

Thus, we can find the lengths of half of each diagonal and use that in the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the side of the rhombus.

First, find the lengths of half of each diagonal.

$\text{Half Diagonal 1}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

$\text{Half Diagonal 2}=\frac{14}{2}=7$

Now, use these half diagonals as the legs of a right triangle that has the side of the rhombus as its hypotenuse.

$\text{Side of Rhombus}=\sqrt{(\text{Half Diagonal 1})^2+(\text{Half Diagonal 2})^2}$

Plug in the lengths of the half diagonals to find the length of the rhombus.

$\text{Side of Rhombus}=\sqrt{6^2+7^2}=\sqrt{85}=9.22$

Make sure to round to places after the decimal.
